I had a 1980 70 HP Johnson on my boat, I recently purchased a 1998 130hp Evinrude. I put the new motor on and the Red OMC plug was the same and plugged right in. However I need some type of wiring diagram for the new motor because it has the oil injection and a lot more wires than the old motor. Can anyone help me get a wiring diagram for the 98 130 hp Evinrude. Also the old johnson used a tilt n trim solenoid that was mounted in the boat and 3 wires ran from it to the motor, does the new motor still need this?

Thanks

You might want to check the year of that new motor. My '98 Johnny has the newer wiring without the big red plug. I would have expected the same from Evinrude. The wiring diaghram from my engine was too large to attach. Sorry.

Somebody could have used an adapter harness on the new motor so it would work with the pre '96 wiring harness.
